We report a case of a 70‐year‐old man harboring a wide‐necked thrombosed giant aneurysm of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) on the M1 segment. The patient presented with generalized tonic‐clonic seizures. A computerized tomography scan showed a calcified aneurysmal wall with perianeurysmal swelling. The aneurysm was successfully embolized using closed‐cell nitinol stent‐assisted coiling (Leo, BALT Co., Montmorency, France).
